Assisted Living Communities in Spring Valley, CA

"I visited Right Choice Senior Living, and then I also spoke to the owner on the phone. The owner, for some reason, didn't know that I was going to be there, so he wasn't there. One of the caregivers assisted me. The tour was good. I liked it. Edgar was the caregiver, and he seemed to be very attentive to each resident. Each resident wasn't tied to a strict schedule. The residents could go outdoors if they wanted, but no gym or library that I was shown."

"Paradise Village is my first choice. It's the largest of the ones that I visited and in the assisted living facility, the dining room was newly remodeled and looked nice. The rooms are also newly remodeled. I believe they had the biggest one-bedroom apartment I've seen. The other thing I liked there is they had stuff sitting around for the residents. I saw three big magnifiers for the residents to use that were just out in open areas. It had the most people out and about and the most residents talking and using the facilities. The woman who gave me the tour impressed me. She knew every person's name, the employees, and the residents. They had studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms there. The bedroom could accommodate my parents' bed so they wouldn't have to get a new bed to go there. The only drawback I had to that is that the building itself is not in the greatest neighborhood. It's a gated community, but driving up to it is not as nice as driving to the other places I've been to."

"I toured Atria Collwood. I liked all of the programs that they had, the different levels of care that they offered, and the way it was structured. It was like an a la carte menu. They had it in such a way that it was very transparent like that. You could see what you were paying for, and the facility was really well kept up. It's a really nice facility and the people there all seemed really on top of everything. Everyone there was very friendly. One of the directors of something was really helpful. She took her time, showed me the different places, and answered a lot of questions which some of the places did, but she just did an exceptionally good job at that. I thought that's why I like that place so much."

"I really liked it. I liked the location. I liked the grounds. I liked the building. There were tons of residents out and about. It was lunchtime and it was like a stampede into the dining room, so that made me think the food was pretty good. Their apartment was just fine. I'm having a hard time because the bedrooms are all a little bit smaller than what I anticipated. I think that my folks will have to probably get a smaller bed, but that looks like that would be at any facility. Other than that, the apartments were just fine. I did like that they had some one-bedroom apartments on the first floor that opened out into the courtyard. They also had a lot of one-bedroom apartments that had balconies. It would be in my top three. I just need to confirm that they're going to be able to provide a gluten-free meal plan for my mother. The chef didn't know anything about it. The staff was good. The main difference is they don't have the big pretty lobby when you walk in."

"I toured Ivy Park at Bonita. The facility seemed more in line with what I needed for my mother in terms of her desire to walk. Everyone was very happy. They like to mingle together very well. The staff was good. They were very friendly. They have been there a long time which says a lot about them."

"I went to Plaza Village Senior Living. It was so welcoming. Automatically, I saw my name saying welcome Drusilla. So, I thought that was so nice of them. So, I had a great feeling when I went in. The room is very neat, clean, and very accessible. The person who gave the tour was so wonderful. She even gave me some lavender from her garden, which made me feel very personable. So, she was super nice. I liked her. They told me about a few things that they have as far as activities. They take the residents out to shop nearby. So, I thought that was good. She also said, "You can continue your friend's physical therapy there". So there are a lot of advantages."

"I went to Ivy Park at Otay Ranch, and it was a very nice tour. I met with another family while they were there, so that was kind of nice. They're probably a top contender. The only negative I had was I felt like their menu selections were a little limited if the woman was giving me the correct information on their dining room. The facility was very nice. They have a beautiful lobby when you walk in there. They had an area for happy hours and stuff that was very nice. It's in a very nice neighborhood. When you're driving up and walking up to the building, it's nice. I think they had the ability to do gluten-free there."

"I've had a lot of experience here. My godmother was there. She was independent, but if you're medical status changed, you pay a little extra. She went from independent to assisted because she had to have help after her. She was a resident for about two years. When you drive through, there's not a lot of parking, but there's a lot of street parking. On weekends, you could park at the hospital across the street in their parking lot. It's a gated community. It has a grass area with a playground for the kids, a dog park, and an area where they celebrate, like Veteran's Day. They have barbecues out there and music. When you go inside, it has marble and nice rich wood. They have a formal dining room, so if the family wants to use it, they can have their food or have their food catered. There are elevators. You can either have a one-bedroom or a studio. The living area has a kitchen with a small top two-burner stove, lots of cabinets, and a large closet as you come into the door. The bathroom is large and is located in the bedroom if you have the one-bedroom and there are two closets in the bedroom, which was nice. The shower area is large, where you can roll a wheelchair and scoot over into your shower chair. You have to provide your own internet. There's a large park across the street if you want to take your parent or your loved one out and stroll through the park. Their dining room is nice. They also have a bar with TVs. It's like Buffalo Wild Wings where you have the TVs on the wall showing the different games, and they have a bar where the residents can have a wheelchair roll up to the bar or residents can sit in the bar stools and you can get beer and wine. They have a meal plan where you either have breakfast, lunch, and dinner or you can reduce your cost by just choosing one or two meals. They have a gym with a physical therapist onsite at all times. They have a swimming pool and a therapy pool. The staff is really nice. The doors close at 11:00, and you ring the doorbell. I believe there's staff there 24/7 or you have a scan, so you can get back in. It's easy to get around. It had very nice wide hallways. They have exercise every morning where you just come right out your door and everyone in that hallway who wants to participate just does hallway exercise. Each floor has a full-sized kitchen and a large area for families to have their own little cookouts and meals together."

"Fredericka Manor is lovely, but we absolutely would not be able to afford that and continue running the household here. The person who gave the tour was very, very nice. I even spoke to some of the nursing staff and everything, and it's a nice place. The dining area was fantastic. It was like a 5-star restaurant-type thing. The room was very nice. The one we looked at had just been redone. It had a new bathroom. The staff was helpful, too."

"I visited the independent living community of Lantern Crest Senior Living, and it's nice. The people were also very nice. They have different layouts. One building is newer than the other, which is the only difference, but they are all nice. The upkeep of the place was very good. The dining area was very nice, and they had a good selection of food. The parking area was fine."

"Gold Canyon Care Home was nice. It looked like more of a home than a big assisted living. It looked like a family-run business that you would fit in. The atmosphere's nice. They would let my mom's dog come and they even came out to visit my mom this weekend. It's just that the price was steeper than we expected. They had a big TV room, exercise equipment, and a big deck that you could go around and that it overlooked a canyon. It was a big house. It was like two houses put together with a quarter in the middle. One house was for their family and caregivers and the other side was for their guests. It was nice looking to me. My husband thought so, too. It was in a nice, quiet neighborhood. We met the owners and they're friendly, informative, and seemed caring."

"I toured Sun and Sea Manor. They were super nice. The place looked good and nice. The people were nice. The room was nice. The staff member who toured me around was great. They're very helpful, friendly, and down to earth. The tour was very quick because we realized it was much more care and more expensive than we needed."
